So...who has it pre-ordered?
Most of them are already in bed since it's past their bed time.
Plenty of older people read Harry Potter, too. :roll:
Negative. YOu don't preorder. A true fan shows up to Barnes & Noble like me and lines up for the party at midnight.
I'm serious.
I've done it for Books 5 & 6.
Call me a dork.
I remember sneaking Book 6 to work to read =)
True, midnight launch FTW. The best part is there's usually always
plenty of books to go around unlike launches such as the Wii

So there really is no need to preorder
LoL yup. They're fun too. I mean I'm not a Harry Potter dork or anything, so I'm usually just there with a group of friends enjoying their coffee and reading some car magazines. Or maybe we walk around the mall that the BN is in.
Hey, but if you're truly a fan, there's events like "Pictures with Hermione". I remember my friend and I were thinking how some hot girl would be there dressed up as Hermione, but apparently it's just a cardboard standup >.<
Make sure you get there EARLY so you get a number in line. Then you can go do whatever. The first time I showed up 2.5 hours before the release and somehow I got out in 30 minutes.
I don't know what happened the second time, but I got there at 5:30pm and it still took an hour and a half for us to get our books.
That said, you could just wait till the next morning and get the book for cheaper at Costco, but what kinda fan does that right? =P
And yea, there's plenty of books. No matter how late you show up, you'll get a book. It's not like they'll run out.
Plus, the freebies are nice. I got a bracelet, Harry Potter glasses and a poster last time =]
